Topic 4. Economic, environmental and social implications of water reuse and recovered products
We are a small research center within a water management board. We manage the longest irrigation canal in Italy, about 47 km, that delivers irrigation to the majority of the Veneto floodplain (northEast Italy). We have a calibrated and validated hydraulic-hydrologic model to understand crop needs, and we have ongoing climate studies on irrigation demand and soil degradation. As we handle water for agriculture, for this specific call, among the different aspect, we are interested in investigating the benefits of reusing treated wastewater for irrigation.
